Ask a Guy: "Does My Fiancé Want Me to Sign a Pre-Nup Because He Thinks Our Marriage Will Fail?"

Hey ladies! Kim's out sick today (feel better, Kim!), but we've got some great partner content coming up for you—including the wisdom of our amazing GuySpeak team from Smitten. So, without further ado, we asked the dudes at guyspeak.com (read more about them here), for their take on this pre-wedding conundrum:

Q: My fiancé asked me to sign a pre-nup. How do I tell him that I don't care about the money factor but am just really hurt that he is already thinking that maybe our marriage will fail? Does the fact that he wants me to sign it mean that he doesn't love me?

It doesn't have to mean that. You think it symbolizes that he doesn't love you, but what if it's the other way around? Maybe he fears you only love him because of his wealth and signing the pre-nup is his way of taking the stack of cash out of the equation.

It sounds like having an open dialogue about why he feels he wants a pre-nup signed would be important. You can also tell him how it makes you feel. Maybe he has no clue that you think the pre-nup has a lot of negative connotations.

He could be one of those cross the "Ts" and dot the "Is" guys about everything in his life. He likes to keep order and make plans for any and all future outcomes, so to him the pre-nup could be as logical and benign as getting catering for the wedding or ensuring there's a handicap ramp so your Aunt Edna can get to the receptionjust another modern-day wedding logistic. Or, maybe he's been burned in the past by women who have dated him only for his thick stack of Grover Cleveland's.

The best and most likely scenario, assuming you're both open and loving people, is that after this pre-nup convo you will feel understood and closer. Closer to him and closer to his money$!! I mean... to him, yeah to him.
